@johnscaramis2515 "xenophobia is a trait most humans have to a various degree. That's is natural, it's a herritage from our ancestors, just like many other things that are useless or even counterproductive in a modern society."
Well said. I totally agree. 100%!
"are you aware and try to defy this notion with logic or let your emotions take control."
I'm doing neither. I am very well aware of the R-complex, the history of our ancestors, why those primitive thoughts once aided us, and how they are now largely useless to us. I'm also aware that we have to deliberately fight against them, reason our way through them, or those primitive thoughts will control us.
There's nothing wrong with emotions, though. As for emotions taking control, I guess you're referring to primitive thoughts? Thoughts are not emotions, even primitive ones. We have emotional reactions to thoughts, though. So that's probably what you mean, when you say we shouldn't let them control us.
My answer is that I'm mindful of human weakness, and struggle against it when I can.
